Two birthday boys

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you.
Welcome to my blog.

For the past month, I'm too busy with my work and I don’t really care anything that happens around me. There I was one day, doing my job while surfing the internet on my favourite websites, facebook. (^_^) I didn't notices it until I already wanted to close the web, "Today is 'hakim' birthday, tomorrow is 'Zul' birthday". Ya Allah!! I almost forgot about my brother birthday!

Then, I see their profile and a list of wishes had already there from all of their friends.

"Happy birthday to you".

That's all I can do right now, just a simple wish. Both of them is a junior member of Radin's family. All of us who are born in the family inherited the Radin's name. It is rare for a Malay family to have a family name. So, sometimes I wonder how our life without it. Probably I will never know Hakim (He is our distant relatives, family of Radin Yusof), while both of me and my brother are descendants of Radin Sulaiman.

During my childhood, I never realize how fortunate we are having the surname. Now, I understand... (^_^)

Back to UMP

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you.
Welcome to my blog.

“Radin, you don’t have to come here personally. I can take it and post it to you.”

Said my friends Mamat and Suhairie the first time I get to UMP again. They’re right actually. Shah Alam and Kuantan are almost 300 km apart and yet I had to come all the way to Kuantan to get the University Completion Letter and Partial Transcript. It is almost not worth it (Because you can actually ask your friends to get it for you). But, this is one of the reasons I went to UMP on past 16th April 2010. I wanted to see some of my friends here and see the changes at my beloved university.

If I not came here personally, I probably did not know that one of my junior, Talhah had actually married! He is still young and yet he has become a husband. He is the classmate to the twin brothers, Putra and Wira, which also my acquaintance. It makes me think a bit that when will my time came. (^_^) Suhairie also ask me did I already prepare to get married. And I gave the same answer, “Wait till I’m 25”.

My first day, I only spend it to settle my job here. It is study week, so the campus was actually pretty quite. I’ve settled the job faster than I’ve expected. Later that day, I’ve met Lee,

“I have found out that my lineage were comes from Asia minor.” Lee said.

He is a malay boy who actually tried to trace back his lineage. He really bonded with a group of foreign student here. No wonder he really excited when he found out about his legacy. Later, I’ve spend my time at Kuantan. I’ve met with two new friends, Fiq and Hendry. Fiq actually is my junior at UMP. We never met at UMP. We’ve actually met in social websites.

These three days probably the best in 2010. (^_^)

My New Life

Assalamualaikum and Peace be upon all of you.
Welcome to my blog.

This day mark the second weeks of my new live in Selangor. An offer letter came to me 3 weeks ago from Symmid Corporation. It is an offer letter to attend the MDEC Job Camp sponsored by MSC Malaysia. Even though it is not guarantee that I will be offer a job in the company, the courses are pretty useful and interesting. And of course, tiring. The training program is held at Petaling Jaya (PJ). At first, it is really hard for me to adjust my life in the big city especially in Greater Kuala Lumpur or commonly refer to as Klang Valley.

No matter what happen, I can't just refused the offer. A chance for me to get a job as a Design Engineer is just in front of me, not to mention a free course and with allowence! (It a waste to reject it). The course is getting harder day by day. Well, just face the fact that, to gain something we must sacrifice something equal in value. What a litle hardship compare to a more better life in the future. (^_^)
